I knew I had to build one. I started with the original Jedi Starfighter frame, but quickly abandoned the original to tackle the stripes: Aaron Sneary

Aaron,
Nice job. I’m not too much a fan of the ship, but you really got the feel of it. Keep it up!

Bruce, that means a lot coming from you. I noticed in the FBTB forums that this design is getting the thumbs down. The stripes do make it a little silly looking, especially for angry Anakin, but it definately captures the gradual change from little Ani to Darth Vader better than Haden ever could.

I didn’t see this over at FBTB... but you have to keep in mind the age group over there; bigger usually means better. Or anything by certain builders. ;)
It’s a really cool MOC, and a good representation of the real thing. But yeah, I don’t think the ship goes with Anakin’s personality at that time (it looks like his podracer to me/he’s an mad dude) or with Jedi beliefs in general.

   And for once, I think I got to building a MOC I planned to build before someone else stole my thunder. I’ll have to remember to go for the designs the fans all hate, like a Jar Jar bust! just kidding.

I’d love a Jar Jar bust, man!

   When do we see more Star Wars stuff from you?

When I finish a MOC or get around to posting one of the few that are ready. :)
I have a Cantina in the works, plus some other goodies that go with that. It’s about 90% done right now.
